I never said I expected success in the cups. What I was trying to say was that the club should be trying to win the Trophy, get to the 3rd round of the FA Cup AND stay in the Conference. What I was pissed off about was fans rolling over and accepting going out as if it didn't really matter. If you look at the club website you'll find Graham has said it all for me. That's my final word you'll be pleased to know cos i'm sick of having to repeat myself to get my point made.

Supers? 

Sorry about that - it just slipped off the tongue!

Quite a few of us (then) young uns used to talk of Alty as the "Super Robins".  My nickname at work for years used to be 'Super' as I wasted no opportunity to brainwash people about the team!

It fell out of fashion many many years ago and that was just a slip of the keyboard after a long rant!

I know what you're getting at UC and agree

And whoever's given me a peake for (barely) expressing an opinion... thanks 

[Saughall Robin]

here's a Goodwin to compensate!

The two instances may not have been connected (at least you have a positive karma difference!).

Anyway, to sum up:

Unless we win the Trophy next season we close the club down.

I think we can all agree on that.

My Karma:-91 Which is around 60 worse off than what it was before this thread started.
And you're worrying about a single Peake ....  

Maybe I just like to stay positive on the outside. Try to lift the players and the club by talking about the positives and not worrying too much about what has happened.

Losing in the Trophy to me is not the end of the world
Winning a one off (well you know what I mean) game in the FA Trophy  was cetainly not on the top of the list of things to achieve this season.

Season is still going VERY well and leys hope we are cheering come what May.

I'm not worried about the peake, just that it was given even when I didn't really say anything! 

Anyway, back to the topic...

[Saughall Robin]

well said gaz!

[Ashley Alty]

Thanks, Saughall for the reply about "Super", I've not got back on in time to reply directly 

CB, worry, when you're karma's as odd as mine 

[Amsterdam Alty]

i seem to have kept an even peake count this week despite my widely disagreed views, but i can assure all it was not me whom has been peaking

I wouldn't say I was rolling over as if it didn't matter - it hurt, as any Alty defeat does.  I would possibly suggest that the FA Trophy is not as important to some fans as the Conference and so perhaps that's why the defeat didn't hurt those fans as much as it hurt you - but it did hurt. 

For the record I might also point out that the FA Cup exit hurt me a lot harder than the FA Trophy did!

[Timperley The Best]

seems the older fans who saw alty in the halcyon days and the younger ones who didnt have different opinions on the trophy.

[Saughall Robin]

I'm an older fan - and I don't give a toss for the Trophy compared with being in the Conf National, staying in the black and progressing steadily!

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Just our bloody luck.....

It seems that Welling United will be missing a few key players tonight due to injuries and a transfer request from their top goalscorer.

Stuffy Tamworth....
